- We were eating some really twisty noodles for dinner tonight and Sam all the sudden said, "I have a BOING in my mouth!" as he was using one noodle like a spring.
- Last night I had the kids try a bite each of refried beans. Abby said they were too squishy. Sam chewed it for a minute, decided he wasn't a fan, and leaned over to Abby's tortilla and deposited it there.
- Sam loves to say prayers now. The other day he prayed while holding a car in his hand. My missionary brother and the food each got blessed 3 times because he was so distracted.
- Lydia now loves to walk around holdings hands. She's 9 months old now and I can hardly believe it. She loves to scream at Abby and Sam and belly-laughs when they scream back.
- Lydia does this funny thing at meals where she turns her face upward and opens her mouth wide and makes a funny sound. She does it to make us laugh. It works every time.
- Abby can hardly wait for both Christmas and her birthday. She still likes having a December birthday and is very caught up in planning every second of her celebration. She cracks me up.
- Abby decided to teach Lydia how to clap this week. She spent less than a minute and Lydia now claps a lot. Abby is a really good big sister.
- Abby and Sam have had an especially fun time playing together and Lydia jumps in on the fun. If they are on the ground, she worms her way over to them and tries to tackle them. If they are running around making noise, she squeals and laughs. Abby and Sam are so good to involve her and usually come up with some role she can play from her mostly-stationary position.
Merry Christmas!
